alright, be creative. Say your a dwarf with amnesia who wandered to Moria looking for his cousin. Or a member of a the tribe of mortals that have been seperated from the public for hundreds of years and now live in the Caradharas Mountains and use Moria as an endurance test. If you would like a lesson I would happily give it to you

Yes, it's like several people collaborate together to write a story without a script or a plotline, each have a seperate idea and are given one or two characters to do it.
Alrighty let's start with vocabulary and work our way up.
RPG: (Role.Play.Game) a game in which each person is in control of one character in a preset place, where this person must abide. Much like a Sim game. Power-Playing: When one takes control of another person's character without permission. Cybering/Cyber sex: RPG sex. Don't worry, that is not allowed on here, nor will it ever be.
The difference between a noob and a newb:
A newb is short for "newbie" which is a person that is new to a game. I.E. Elfgoddess is still a newb here. Newbs are often in the same category as a noob (sometimes spelled n00b) who is an obnoxious person who is often breaking the rules or creating sticky situations between characters, very often they are braggarts who want to show off. Older players in a game are often very haughty to newbs, and think them all to be n00bs. Which can sometimes, unintentionally turn them into 3rd degree noobs.

Mary-Sue Recognition and Extermination:
What's a Mary-Sue? A mary-sue is an unnaturally perfect and beautiful woman (in rare and slightly disturbing cases, men). With a laughably sob-story past that is so bad that it is ridiculous Who are never in any conflict, or if they are they get out of it without a single hair-misplaced. They're notoriously flirtatious to the point they might as well say "My place or yours?" IN some cases they have. They have perfect personalitities, which creates no room for any...suspensful moments because you just KNOW that they are going to pull through it at the very last moment with some sort of magical charm. How to avoid them: Put imperfections in their appearance, some sort of a deformity, i.e. make them have one completely black eye and one icy-blue eye (if you have ever seen one who looks like that you will be aware of how scary that look). Have them have a bad temper, some sort of a personality trait or habit that is annoying on any counts. Let them be a bit self-pitying at times. Write them to match your mood at the current time. And so on.

Weaponry And Design Shop: Alright, in this lesson we're going to learn about the basic weapon types, what can serve as good sword/bow/knife/whateverelseyoucancomeupwith and so on. Swords: Double-handed sword Two-Edged One-edged Scimitar, which is a curved sword. If you have ever read the Chronicles of Narnia, then you might recognize it as the swords the Calormene used. An din the movies, if I remember correctly, the Uruk carried them. Katana How To use Each: Double handed is just like it seems, although it is easier to move, it can be difficult decieving your opponent into believing that you will move one dirrection, but move in another. Two-Edged: The two-edged blade is one of my personal favourites. It's easier to make a quick and clean cut. You can easily use it no matter if your character is left-handed or right. Also, if your opponent claims that you did not actually kill him, that you merely bruised him with the blunt edge, you have a better chance of not having to go into a heated argument. One-Edged Blade: One edged blades are easier to do complicated tricks (perk those pointed ear up Elven girls and boys!) with, beacause you have an edge that you can press your hand up, or move your sword above your head and your opponent can say something like "I laughed as I saw (insert name here) swung her sword above her head and accidentally embedded it in a nearby beech tree!" And so on. Scimitar: Scimitars are often used for a clean beheading. They make excellent sword breakers if you have a dagger on you. Although we won't go into that, all I will say is: TAKE THAT WURDEN! HA! I'M STILL LAUGHIN, BABY! Katana: A samurai sword. I will say this once, and only once: DO NOT USE THESE! These are non-existent in middle-earth! We'll go into daggers, bows, and matierials to use for a sword in the next lesson.

Romance and Wooing we'll skip over tonight, I'll get to it later, you'll have no use for romance, for awhile.
Dying 101:
Oh no! That Easterling whack you again? Never fear! Will give you a ceremony to remember! Kididng, everyone hates dying in a RPG...or in RL for that matter... But hey, if you're going to go, go out with style.
alright, before I continue this lesson, I must ask you one thing: can you stand gore?
